Notes: This lovely dome is inside the Uspenski (or Uspensky) Cathedral, an Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Helsinki, Finland. The name comes from the Old Church Slavonic (the first Slavic literary language) uspenie, which signifies the Dormition (death) of the Virgin Mary. The cathedral was built between 1862 and 1868, and is dedicated to the Dormition of the Theotokos (Virgin Mary). It is the largest orthodox church in Western Europe.

Notes: To me, this town almost doesn't look real, but rather more like a movie set. All those flowers are gorgeous! This is the town of Eguisheim, located in the Alsace region of eastern France. In May of 2013, it was voted the "Favorite French Village", a title that annually passes from town to town in France. Alsace is a wine-producing region, and Eguisheim apparently produces a high quality Alsatian wine.

***PLEASE NOTE*** I have been replacing my postcard scans on Flickr with better, higher resolution scans. As I do, it seems to be breaking the links so that the pictures don't actually show up in the blog. If you come across an older entry with a broken link, please comment on that entry and I'll update it as soon as possible.

Thanks!!
